It's just a vocal minority that will always rail when something is seemingly too hard for others (actually themselves). Just look at the occasional cry for the Lakshmi fight in 4.1

The very real fact that flies in the face of my reasoning there is the sad fate of Steps of Faith. Such a fun fight nerfed into braindead oblivion but as it was a bouncer at the gates for an entire expansion, most folks can see why the choice was made (and this might be what happens to MSQ Shinryu much later down the line).

You're totally free to make posts as you wish of course. I hope I didn't present otherwise! I enjoy lively discussion also, maybe I'm just more jaded with the community when it comes to complaints
